This too will pass?

How about instead of saying, “this too will pass”; confessing  this too my Savior will walk me through?  Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:4 (ESV)  

Shepherd

  Greater is the Good Shepherd, who has laid down his life for the sheep than the Wolf who seeks to scatter the sheep. John 16:33; John 10:10-12

Grace and truth

  Greater is he who is full of grace and truth being sent from the father than the one who is called the father of Lies.   1John 4:4; John 1:14; John 8:44

emptying

  Greater is He who emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men, than the one who is full of himself. 1John 4:4; Philippians 2:7; Isaiah 14:12-14; 2 Thess 2:4; Ezek 28:12-15

God has willed

 Though the tribulation (trouble, pain, difficulty, distress, adversity, anxiety, depression, OCD) of this world should threaten to undo us, we will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us us, for Jesus Christ has overcome the world. John 16:33 & Almighty fortress is our God by Martin Luther

I believe, but...

Be still and know, oh my soul; that your sinfulness, helplessness, and neediness is far greater than you think it is but be of good cheer, for your God is far more excellent, merciful, wise, and faithful than you think He is. Reference: The whole Bible especially Isaiah 6:5; 1Cor 1:30; and 2 Corinthians 5:21 I believe that with all my heart, yet there are times when I question this statement and wonder then why doesn't the assent to this statement not just bring heaven (God's grace) with all its healing power and mercy down to me and correct all the troubles within and without followed by peace of mind?

No separation from God's Love

For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,  nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord, who began a good work in us and will bring it to completion at the day His return and present us blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy. A medley  of Romans 8:38-39;Philippians 1:6; Jude 1:24-25
